AfriForum welcomed the warning of Mike Pompeo, US Secretary of State, that expropriation without compensation would be catastrophic for the South African economy and the country\u2019s population. According to Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, this statement is an enormous boost for the civil rights organisation\u2019s international campaign to mobilise international pressure against the South African government\u2019s plans to implement their ideology of expropriation without compensation.<\/p>\n

Pompeo made his statement against South Africa\u2019s plans for expropriation without compensation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, during this morning\u2019s session of the United Nation\u2019s Economic Commission for Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the US is one of South Africa\u2019s largest trading partners, the South African government should seriously consider Pompeo\u2019s warning and realise that ideologically-driven policies pose serious threats to the country\u2019s economy. With unemployment rates of about 90%, Zimbabwe and Venezuela are proof that everyone but the political elite suffer when property rights are violated,\u201d Kriel says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ernst Roets, AfriForum\u2019s Head of Policy and Action, and Monique Taute, Manager for Campaigns, just launched the American leg of the organisation\u2019s #TheWorldMustKnow campaign. This entails, among other, the mobilisation of international pressure against expropriation without compensation. Roets already gave a pre-recorded interview on Fox News with Tucker Carlson yesterday and will visit various other media institutions, opinion formers, politicians and think tanks in the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestors leave countries of their own accord when property rights in those countries are not respected. AfriForum\u2019s attempts to generate international pressure, is indeed to ensure that investors put pressure on the South African government to save investments,\u201d Kriel concludes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
